mir36 Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 I've been sitting on a minor stockpile of vintage parts but have not found the time to finish a single vintage project. The self loathing finally caught up with me a few nights ago.... I humbly present my first vintage project for your consideration... 6152 LPMM Profile of reshaped case Vintage hands The specs: Ross Dial w/ clear epoxy filled indices - a classic DSN 6154 case reshaped Nightwatch thick caseback Gunny 74 strap Getat hands - I scored the lume area with an exacto knife and applied white paint applied to the back to replicate the vintage look. Thanks to VDB, Clint Eastwood, Ross, Merlin, Nightwatch(Cortebert) and Okabum for the insipiration and making the vintage Panerai affliction a participation sport. Thanks for looking.

hiker01 Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 I like it .......but I'm with PeteM on the hands. It would be more believable if you vintagize it some more IMHO! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mir36 Posted December 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 Thanks for the kind words. The hands could definitely be improved. I am hoping Santa brings me a pair of Okabum's angelus hands for 6497's. Those are sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mellons Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 this is a super build +1 on the oaka hands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mir36 Posted December 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 The indices were a bit too white for me so opened her up again and aged the indices and hands this time. Still not the Oka hands... but these will do for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
